This App comes with audio and videos of various ways of reciting Shakyamuni Mantra

Among the Buddhist mantras commonly used by Tibetans, the Buddha Shakyamuni mantra – "om muni muni maha muniye soha" – is one of the most popular. (Along with some others, like the mantras associated with Avalokitesvara and Green Tara)

The mantra of Shakyamuni Buddha could be said to be the essence of the Buddha, the essence of his enlightenment. It is in no way separate from the Buddha himself

Shakyamuni Buddha was, historically, a spiritual master who lived and taught in modern day India and Nepal in either the 6th or 5th century BCE, and who founded Buddhism

"Om muni muni mahamuni shakyamuniye svaha." This form has the name of Shakyamuni in the dative form, so that it reads “Om wise one, wise one, great wise one, to the wise one of the Shakyans hail!” This is actually the more common form of the mantra in Sanskrit, although in Tibetan the mantra is in the “Tibeticized” version of the shorter form given above: Om muni muni maha muni shakyamuni soha – “soha” being the Tibetan rendering of “svaha”
